This is PART 1 of a 12-Part feature-length movie musical based loosely on my life experience. Part 1: Desert Song is about my reckoning with the middle name my father secretly wrote on my birth certificate - a Native American name which means 'Devil' or 'Demon'. The 'vision' the young me has occurred in Monument Valley in 1986 with my father - while trying to find Haley's Comet with a telescope. The face in the Moon bellowed in another language - native American, it seemed - and terribly powerful and seemingly cruel, mocking, I eventually passed out from exhaustion, my father having to pin me to the ground. Ever since I have felt that the vision and my name are connected...
In seeking answers from my father regarding both the name and the vision, I have come up with only the most vague of replies, as if he hardly remembers any of it... The killing of the father, the planter of mystery and the king of the family - is my moving beyond him in my search for truth. The opening footage is of my father chanting in Monument Valley - shot by my mother.
